Also, as a former runner, my advice would be, don't. You only have one set of useful knees, and running kills 'em. You'll find out, soon enough.

I suspect I could never have finished a Snickers, I think they call it now, because they start at some nonsense time in the morning. I'd've needed to get up at half past the night before, and had at least two shits Metabolism, you see. I did, however, run one arf marathon by meself, deliberately sloowing down from the pace I was used to, comfortable with, at six moiles It was easy And I started late afternoon Shits already had (01-30-2019, 03:37 PM)Duffers Wrote:(01-30-2019, 01:49 PM)Lightnin Wrote:(01-30-2019, 12:19 PM)Duffers Wrote:(01-30-2019, 10:23 AM)Lightnin Wrote:(01-30-2019, 10:08 AM)Pertensio Wrote: I started doing C25K, then Parkrun, now got a 10k to do in May. Regularly run 5-8K This marathon training isn't about how far you go on one run at the moment but how far you go in a week, that mileage will gradually increase every week until eventually you find yourself doing about 35 mile one week including a much larger weekend final practice run before you taper and this is what you're building up to now. It doesn't matter about a 10k on a Tuesday and a longer run on a Sunday as long as that longer run takes place. My advise would be to look at training programs online but do remember that they are only guides but mix up what you do. For example, it wouldn't hurt for you to go swimming or on a cross trainer or just a walk instead. Hal Higdon is very good and you can find lots of stuff for all levels on his site. I think more than twice a week would be needed though but it's all gradual, don't go mad or you will get injured. The problem is that there are no shortcuts on Marathon training, you can get away with it during halfs but risk it on a full marathon and it will catch you out, it will hurt and mark my words, you'll know about a different kind of fatigue. The refuelling is so important, I can't stress enough how much you must do it and must try it during your training to make sure you are ok with it. There is no point trying something new on the day and finding you reacting in a way that gives you the shits. You can check out a lot of nutrition advice on Anita Beans website, just google her. She's an award winning sports nutrionist and gives lots of hints about whats needed. It's also important to refuel quickly after long runs, I always had bagels as well as my SIS stuff that replaced electrolytes. As for Lucozade, its just sugar and fast acting, it will help with a quick fatigue fix but its not quite the answer. Look at gels or caffiene gum which I know some runners swear by. If I can help in any way with advice then just ask, I know there were a few others on the old board that will also have some sound advice. There's a book on Amazon avaiable called "Me, you and 26.2" which is meant to be good, she's an American lady named Denise Sauriol.

Does Anita Beans do other food, too?

I bet none of you have faced this issue on any of your training runs:
https://www.itv.com/news/2019-02-06/runn...-colorado/ To be fair when I'm sprinting (OK plodding) up the Norton Road, it's not come into play yet. At least there's some handy tips included in the unlikely event that it does ever happen.

Had a really good week - 10.7 miles after work on Tuesday then 15.8 today. Been working on my fuelling, ate a bowl of porridge an hour and a half before going out and bought a bottle of Lucozade half way round then had a few swings every 2.5 miles. Had more energy, which is good, but I did start getting cramp in my calves after about 14 miles. Need to look at that.

The problem with lucozade too is that it's just sugar, it's not really hydrating. It also might be you adjusting to your nutrition before you run. Try it again next week but drink plenty of water through the week. |
